On the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (15 August), novice Sr. Flora Raissa Dessi, made her first profession. After her formation in the International Novitiate in Tanzania she returned to Cameroon to celebrate this joyous event with her sisters and family. The celebration took place in the chapel of Pallotti Institut in Yaoundé.
One week passed since two Novices from Rwanda, Sr. Alice and Sr. Leoncie, arrived at our Novitiate House in Doume. They came to us with Sr. Belancilla Mukandahiro, the Regional Superior of Rwanda/Congo. What a great joy it was for Sr. Marceline, the 2nd-year Novice, who at the end of this stage of formation now has the opportunity to meet with her two companions from Rwanda. What a great joy it is for all of us, who since long time have desired to collaborate closely with our Sisters in Rwanda. And unexpectedly the door of Pallottine communion has opened.

* Our Way of Life *
"Our diverse talents and abilities, our differences in culture, nationality and age are assets for the richness of the community. Although we may be engaged in a variety of ministries, we all share the common call to apostolic discipleship in a community of the Catholic Apostolate of St. Vincent Pallotti."(OWL, 91)

"As a community of disciples we are gathered around Jesus, the Apostle of the Eternal Father. Like the first disciples, we want to be with Jesus, be sent out by him and return to him to evaluate our service in the light of his presence." (OWL, 88)

"As Pallottines, it is our special charism to foster growth in faith and love among the laity, to awaken them to awareness of their apostolic call, and to cooperate with them in furthering the apostolic mission." (OWL, 21)

"Our relationships with one another should be marked by a love that bears all, believes all and hopes for all, a love that is neither conceited nor jealous, which hurts no one, nor is embittered or resentful. It is never discouraged but remains patient and kind. It rejoices with others and shares their suffering. It is with this kind of love that we should help and support one another." (OWL, 90)
